in fairness to pep, I think ( if i'm not mistaken ), he has said he wants to go manage Brescia someday, so I guess that will be his challenge. I think if I was manchester united, I would go for Pochetino plays a good brand of footbal and could be the long term appointment they are looking for .

 

That is who we want. Pochettino would be perfect and wouldn't fuck off in three years. We were never in for Pep. Would have loved Klopp like but oh well.

 

Pochettino would be a much better fit for Man U than Jose who really should be gunning for McClaren's job rather than wasting his time with your club.

Winning the Champions League with Porto was a class achievement, it wasn't on the same level as winning it with Grimsby but people only play it down because it's Mourinho and they think he's a big meanie. I think he's finished now but his Porto to Inter reign was really impressive.

Why is getting Guardiola being portrayed as such a coup for Man City, a club with limitless funds to spend on both his wages and whatever players he wants to add to an already ridiculously costly, talented and deep squad?

Well, it's a massive upgrade on their current manager. Pellegrini has not done very well there, has he?

Probably because despite that they're not champions, not top of the league and regularly fuck up in Europe in an often new and hilarious set of circumstances and they don't want that to be the case moving forward.

I hate Mourinho with a passion but he won the Champions League with Porto so not exactly the same as Guardiola

 

but then again Porto was the biggest (or at least one of the biggest clubs in Portugal) portuguese club at that time. I am talking about a mid-/ or lower table club without a lot of money to spend. I mean his Porto team was: P. Ferreira, Costinha, Deco, Conceicao, McCarthy, Derlei, Maniche, Bosingwa just to name a few.

 

And how many of those players were either nobodies, bench warmers or signed from mid table Pourtegese clubs for peanuts when Mourinho showed up? I think winning the Champions League with Benni McCarthy as one of your lead strikers is an achievement in itself.

 

Also, outside of Deco and the one's who followed Mourinho to Chelsea, how many of that squad actually achieved anything after 2005?

You just seem to really dislike him for some reason man. Pretty good chance he'll win two Premier Leagues in three seasons there

Been terrible in Europe and let's face it, they should win the league with ease every year with the amount of money they spend. I'm not impressed at all with the job he's done there.. Don't really care about what he's done in his previous jobs.

Terrible in Europe is a massive exaggeration. Got knocked out by Barca the last two years and will probably get to at least a quarter final this year

 

For a club with an unlimited amount of money it's awful.

City have never exactly looked convincing under him, they won the league only after Liverpool completely bottled it at the final hurdle and the CL record is average at best, then again they seem incapable of having a proper defense when Kompanys injured whether thats down to Pellegrini or bad signings by the director of football or both :dontknow:

Worth noting that they've always had either Bayern or Real in the group stage due to their low seeding. This year's the first that they've managed to dodge either, but were still stuck with Juventus.

Aye its basically the exact average you would expect them to do given their groups and playing Barca twice. Don't think Guardiola would've got any further in the circumstances
